Chicago Cubs at Houston Astros
Tuesday, 8:05 pm Eastern – WGN
SBG Global Opening Line: Cubs - 120 , Total 8.5 Over - 120
The Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros meet in the second game of a three-game series on Tuesday night in Houston with Ryan Dempster going against Wandy Rodriguez. It should be an excellent pitching matchup of underrated starters on Tuesday since Dempster won 17 games last season for the Cubs while Rodriguez had an ERA of less than three at home last year.
SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Cubs on the Road.
Dempster made the All-Star team last year and became the first pitcher since 1969 to have 25 saves in one season and then win at least 17 games the next. Dempster did most of his damage last year at home, going 14-3 so it will be interesting to see if he can carry that success on the road in 2009.
Rodriguez was just 5-5 at home last season but it was not his fault. He had a 2.99 ERA in 14 home starts but got very little run support. Last season the Astros and Cubs were almost dead even in their series as Houston won 9 of the 17 matchups. Houston was one of only two National League teams that had a winning record against the Cubs last season with Philadelphia being the other.

The Cubs are 9-4 in their last 13 vs. the National League Central. The Cubs are 20-8 in Dempster’s last 28 starts as a favorite.

The Astros are 2-5 in Rodriguez’s last 7 starts vs. the National League Central. The Astros are 4-1 in Rodriguez’s last 5 home starts vs. the Cubs.
